Hi,if you want to avoid crabs don`t frequent the toilets in filey,so manic told us all! (hi manic big hug

)
Unfortunately there are no fish there either..........so manic told us all crying

Sorry can`t be of any more help,i don`t fish your area
Cheers Darren cool

I know how you feel mate. There seems to be a huge quantity of them this year, i dont remember it being this bad last year.
Spiders are all i have caught on my last 3 trips crying

Spiders are only around for a few weeks this time of year which is their breeding season. We had them here until middle of last week but they seem to have all gone now. We are now getting a bit of westerly wind for a few days which nearly always livens things up a bit so should be a lot better this weekend - I am doing Friday and Saturday and expecting some decent fishing.

That's good to here just wish the weed would go away that quick.
I'm hoping to do Gilkicker or Browndown Friday and Saturday night.

Hi Dazzaman, your right, avoid the toilets, but filey does produce, its just unpredictable. and crabs are an unavoidable hazard wherever you go. its just a case of perservering. we all blank, or catch crabs, but eventually were rewarded for our efforts. big grin

A warm welcome to the forum mate, the beauty about sea fishing is that you don't know what your gonna catch until it's on your hook. Don't stand next to manic _muppet or you'll catch more crabs lol devil
